Steven Minarik is vindicated
Mr. Minarik is the Chairman of the New York Republican Party. The other day he offered the following "controversial" observation:
[Howard Dean's ascension to DNC Chairman shows that] the Democrats simply have refused to learn the lessons of the past two election cycles, and now they can be accurately called the party of Barbara Boxer, Lynne Stewart and Howard Dean."
Lynne Stewart is the left-wing extremist attorney recently convicted of serving as a courier between her terrorist client, "blind sheikh" Omar Abdel Rahman, and his Islamist followers while in prison.
This caused Dr. Demented to go ballistic in characteristic fashion, demanding Minarik's apology and resignation - doubtless as an unsubtle attempt to distract public attention from his own latest round of gaffes. And, predictably, RINO New York Governor George Pataki cravenly clucked that Minarik's remarks were outside the "realm of appropriate political discourse."
But guess who was a significant financial backer of Lynn Stewart's legal defense fund? Would you believe one of the biggest financial backers of the rabid, frothing, frenzied left-wing drive to destroy George W. Bush, the infamous George Soros?
"According to records filed with the Internal Revenue Service, George Soros's foundation, the Open Society Institute, or OSI, gave $20,000 in September 2002 to the Lynne Stewart Defense Committee," reports National Review Online's Byron York.
The revelation that a top Democrat donor was funding a convicted terrorist aider and abettor gives added ammunition to New York Republican Party Chairman Stephen Minarik, who blasted the Democrats on Monday, saying "they can be accurately called the party of Barbara Boxer, Lynne Stewart and Howard Dean."
The GOP chief's comments made even some of his fellow Republicans uncomfortable, but in light of York's report, his criticism now seems downright prescient.
Indeed it does.
You have to love Minarik's retort to Dean's whining:
"[I]t is not the Republican Party's problem that these far-left activists have made their home in the Democratic party."
I like this guy.
My only questions are how the hell such a fighter managed to rise to the top of the New York GOP, and how Governor Pataki can be made to undergo backbone transfusions from Chairman Minarik.
Puts a whole new spin on Spinal Tap, doesn't it?
